C application using Perl functions

I did correctly stuff to call a perl function in a C application that was a lot of fun ^^

This application is about to send mails to customers with a snapshot (an image) with a watermark on it
giving the code they would use to access the party they have paid for...
I tried in full C but sending mail with attachment is a real nightmare,
so I decided to keep the application and call Perl functions using well done
modules efficient for mail composing and attachment handling.
The problem is that for the DBI module I got no particular problem to have it xsinit'd (simply linking the DBI.so library)
BUT concerning the Net::SMTP module, I'm stucked, the compiler (gcc 4.8.3 rev 212064) told me that there is no reference to what is behind
boot_SMTP regarding the xs_init code... 

newXS("DBI::bootstrap", boot_DBI, file);
newXS("SMTP::bootstrap", boot_SMTP, file);

I tried to locate the .so file without success, all I have are the .pm files that the C language
seems not to handle as the Perl does :{
For now my perl source looks like this: 
#! /usr/bin/perl

use Net::SMTP;
use DBI;

sub sendmail()
{
    
    my $this_function = (caller(0))[3];
    print "[PERL -- $this_function]\n";
    
}

The application works without the Net::STMP reference at the use keyword. Can someone could give me a way to solve this ridiculous compilation error ?
